The powerful tycoon Auric Goldfinger has initiated "Operation Grand Slam," a cataclysmic scheme to raid Fort Knox and obliterate the world economy. James Bond (Agent 007), armed with his specially equipped Aston Martin (its accessory package includes built-in machine guns, a smoke screen and an ejector seat), must stop the plan by overcoming several outrageous adversaries. First, Bond must contend with Oddjob, the mute servant who kills at the toss of a lethal hat. Next, he has a daring romp with the beautiful Jill Masterson, Goldfinger's trusted card advisor, who gives new meaning to the phrase "golden girl." Finally, Bond becomes entangled with the sexy pilot Pussy Galore, whose romantic feelings for him complicate her involvement in Goldfinger's high-flying scheme. (official distributor synopsis)

English The third and, as far as the later development of the series is concerned, also the most important 007 movie adventure. All the aspects that come to mind under the term Bond movie were established right here by Guy Hamilton. Above all, the entire plot is presented with significant hyperbole and completely diverted from the books the movies were based on. And this is where he killed the whole series of movies for me. I found the more realistic style of From Russia with Love much more pleasing. What has to be praised is the brilliant opening song. Connery’s charisma and overall entertainment are both there. Just that after this movie Bond will never be the same again. For some just what they want, for me a huge disappointment. ()

English The third is the best. The most original Bond film of all, and indeed Guy Hamilton's glorious (and unbeatable) entry into the 007 series. What's so great about this Bond movie? Purity of style, a polished screenplay, the combining of all the existing attributes of Fleming's super agent into a tasty and balanced mixture of humor, action, tension and visual attractiveness. Sean Connery performs a finished concert with perfectly tuned instruments – charm, cynicism and traditional sharpness. Opponent Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) is a douche at first glance, but his "flourishing" into one of the greatest criminal minds of all time is all the better... Oddjob? An insurmountable villain with an insurmountable storm on his head. The story is not enlightening, but as has already been said, it is well done, designed and filmed. Hamilton, in particular, added much more dynamism to the action sequences than the excellent (and slightly orthodox) stylist Young, and thus established a new form of James Bond, a form which the creators still use today. An ageless classic! ___ A few tidbits: Gert Fröbe was chosen based on a role in which he played a pederast. He could not speak a word of English, although it was promised that he could to the production team, so he babbled in an indeterminate language during the filming and was later overdubbed. The interior of Fort Knox is pure architectural fiction based on Hamilton's idea of a "temple of gold". The exteriors of the world's largest treasury were filmed at London's Pinewood Studios. ___ Bond song: "Goldfinger" (Shirley Bassey) ()

English The first bond film where Q finally appears, along with some cool gadgets that give the movie a new charge. I have to say, as a kid, I really liked this. But in this film, there's so much more that grabs your attention. Besides the great villain, there's also his henchman with a deadly hat and, of course, the golden victims. It's beautifully terrifying. I don't remember all the bond films, and I think I've seen quite a few in the past, but this one definitely stuck in my memory. I think that speaks to its qualities. Some scenes and elements really etch themselves into your memory. ()

English Goldfinger’s caption could be "Macho Strikes Again". I guess only Bond can turn a lesbian into a heterosexual by the sheer force of his masculinity. Compared to the previous two films, there is less of the espionage atmosphere but more of the gadgets and one-liners. Bond films have taken on a new direction. ()

English 007__#3__For me the main draw is the casting of Goldfinger (the excellent Swiss Gert Frobe) and his henchman Oddjob, played by wrestler Harold Sakata – I'll never forget his killer bowler hat. The main villain, as one of the members of the criminal organization Spectre, which accompanied the Bond franchise from Dr. No to You Only Live Twice, does not want to take over the world, but thanks to an ingenious plan "only" to get as rich as possible, which makes the whole story more believable. Some of the scenes have aged, but otherwise I'm satisfied, though I don’t think this is the best Bond movie. ()
